Bookmaker went 1-2 today on the Rule #1 plays.
1-2, yet only down $62.

In fact, they were the only book yesterday not to net a profit!

I couldn't find the numbers for LasPalmas, Intertops, Justbet, BetUS, Sportbet, Diamond, and Canbet from yesterday. If anyone has a link to line history for those books, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Every other book combined was 40-16 +3508 yesterday.

You guys realize that Bookmaker closes lines 10 minutes after the scheduled start time, right?

Sure you're getting 20-cent lines, but it assures you that you know all the plays.

NVM, that's just the listed time, they do pull them when the game begins.

Yes, it will forever be profitable because you're beating the closing number always.

Got killed yesterday, 19-45 -$3412

Here's the updated numbers from what I have been tracking, many books starting to separate themselves from others:

Rule #1 (see: original post) is the most successful baseball system I have ever used.

Just read the thread guys. The first post answers just about everything and he posted the records of each book a few pages back. If you don't want to educate yourself on the topic, that's your own fault because this is a goldmine. There is over 100 pages of information here which more than explains how to be successful.

This is how you're suppose to bet on sports. No emotion tied to the picks, no handicapping, no chase system, etc. Just shop for lines. If you're patient, you will win. If you're greedy, you are going to throw your money away.
